7 SLEEPER
Stop That Rage

" I hope you know what you're doing "

Rion was casually standing with one hand in his pocket. His face when working part-time while advising a group of dark companies, he was shown in front of these delinquents.

His eyes stared intently into their eyes, as if his eyes were able to explore their consciousness until they once again fell backward in fear.

All the inspectors are already preparing and besieging this area.

" You !!"

" I ?"

" Don't look stupid, if you weren't around I would've made them all kneel to me!!"

The delinquent leader pointed at Rion impolitely, although he was angry and angry at her but his body was very frightened. Even to stand up, they have to help each other.

Not wrong, because this is the first time they meet people who are not at all afraid of them, even though all this time they are able to make people afraid just by hearing the name of their father.

Although they continue to use their parents' names to troublemaker here and there, they are never satisfied even they are like opium to troublemaker others.

Therefore when Rion was completely indifferent to the influence of their parents' reputation and name, it made them lose one of the mainstay weapons.

" Oy !!"

Teriakied with a higher tone of voice and tucked away an intimidation like that, making the five delinquents return terrified, their bodies stiff as stiff as their feet.

Cold sweat began to spread all over their bodies. Even to gulp their own spit they are in trouble.

" Hear me "

Rion approached step by step while continuing to maintain her cold gaze towards them.

The frightened delinquents tried to keep retreating despite having to crawl, they did not want to get close to Rion any more than the safe distance they had made before.

But Rion's pace was much faster than their speed of motion, despite not using his super speed, Rion got near them in a matter of seconds.

" Ohagh !! Don't come any closer !! Don't come any closer !!"

Rion ignored their terrified cries and continued to chase after them as they continued to try to run away into the middle of the grass field.

Many times they fall awake to save themselves, until their feet are completely unable to move anymore, their legs limp as new in chasing ghosts and wither like no bones until they fall down in the meadow.

When they fell, their leader dropped the black cloth-wrapped object that Rion saw last night.

Despite being inside the black cloth wrap, Rion could still see an ominous black aura coming out of the object.

In the next second the leader grabbed the object, then laughed like a madman. Not only that, the young man opened his wrapping cloth and grasped it by hand and pointed it at Rion's face.

Rion who was completely unaffected even got closer to the object, even up close he checked on all sides while still in the young man's grasp.

Everyone panicked including the adventurers watching from a distance, they could not believe Rion without the slightest worry of approaching the dangerous object.

No one told him before that the object should not be approached let alone touched by direct hands.

Therefore, Rion did not know at all that black objects in the hands of the delinquent could threaten his life.

In the next second, the object emits light and heartbeats from the object.

Rion was conscious and without panicking slowly took a step back.

The delinquent was satisfied and his anxiety slightly disappeared, now he could breathe with relief for a while.

But as time goes on, the sound of heart beat is increasingly heard by others. It also flashes a pale color when it beats.

The young man holding the object became anxious again because of something else.

" Dispose that thing quickly !!"

" Run let's run "

" I don't want to die "

" I told you, it's dangerous "

One by one his friends ran away and warned him, but he did not move at all.

" Oh my goodness.. "

Rion simply shook his head weakly and let out a long sigh.

He felt that there were more and more fools in the world.

" Oy, it's alive, if you don't throw it away immediately, I'm sure it'll eat your body."

Rion tries to scare the young man, although he eventually understands how dangerous the object is.

" no.. L'm.. I tried, but.. My bodies.. Not moving.. "

His voice was limp and small, but Rion could still hear him.

" Oh, that's the sign you're eating "

Said Rion again scares Nakuti, but it's true that's the truth. Slowly the black veins began to appear in the young man's hands and began to radiate up to his arms.

The guards started coming out of their hiding place.

Captain Goro and his assistant come to Rion who is still relaxing in the middle of a bunch of panicked adventures.

" Where does that calm come from ?"

The question that represented everyone's heart was posed by Captain Goro when it accidentally leaked out of his mouth.

" Do I have to answer now ?"

" No, no. Forgetit. How do we deal with this "

The young man looked more and more in pain at each vein the more it controlled his right arm.

The mysterious object slowly began to change shape as a disgusting liquid began to emerge from it, and the liquid appeared extremely hot even the skin and grass beneath it melted.

The object was similar to the hot asphalt liquid but the pungent smell like a carcass from there was able to make people vomit despite standing from a distance though.

The young man grew weak and almost lost consciousness. Rion could have helped him by severing his arm, but Rion only took the time to give a deterrent effect.

" If it is longer than this he will not survive, the worst case of the evil creature will rise and there will be an all-out battle today, I can't imagine if we'll live after this or not"

Captain Goro who seemed worried about the worst began to call his subordinates and ordered to prepare to fight.

As everyone grew panicked Rion instead remained calm and once again approached the young man.

No one was aware of the desperate incident, even if they realized they would not have the time to stop Rion at this moment.

" In a moment you'll be fused with this monster, and we'll kill you. " Rion said back to scare.

The young man was unable to respond, his beautiful eyes and his pale lips a sign that his mana was being sucked out.

It's just a matter of seconds until the mana is completely exhausted and suffocates.

Until in the end this mysterious creature will take over his body or make his fall for his resurrection.

But, Rion would not let that happen.

" I gave you two choices.First, die now as a human being. Second, die later when become a monster ? Quickly determine your answer !!"

The young man did not answer. He realized he could no longer be saved, but his desire to live was so great.

Begging for life was not in the options he gave her.

Her tears trickled down as a plea for forgiveness for her mistake, and she also begged for mercy for her life to be saved.

But a selfish request from him, there was no way anyone would hear it. More than the person before him at the moment.

His consciousness was disappearing as his mana was getting drained, to move his lips was heavy, let alone having to answer questions that were both equally unfavorable.

He will die today. All his regrets have crossed all this time, like the accelerated vidio.

But the one thing he wanted to do the most was one. And that's what he regrets most.

But it's too late. His consciousness was disappearing and his vision was completely dark, he could barely even hear his own heartbeat anymore.

Rion had no idea what the young man was thinking, but one thing he knew was the desire to live off his enormous self.

" Huh.. Then the third. You want to live ?"

Like seeing a ray of light of opportunity. Even though it was impossible, he still wanted to live.

With the last strength he had, he would risk the third choice.

With a voice that was difficult to say he tried to keep repeating the word Life.

May his feelings now be conveyed, how much he wants to continue to live. He doesn't care if he has to be in jail or whatever, at least he just wants to live first.

" ... dup.. Hi.. P"

With an inaudible soft voice he poured out all the energy he had on that glimmer of hope.

" I'll accept your request. "

Rion took out his sword from the air gap.

Everyone thought that Rion was going to end the young man's life, and they deeply regretted that one of their adventurers would die from such a ridiculous thing.

" Listen, I don't know what's going to happen next, so I'm asking everyone to leave this place immediately. "

" Where are you ?!!"

" Captain, my running business is the fastest of you."

Hearing such confident remarks, captain Goro could not refuse her. With a single hand movement all his members disappeared from the place, followed by himself afterwards.

Rion looks back at the mysterious object before its execution begins.

It was still disgusting no matter how many times it was seen, especially with its unpleasant smell it was the thickest at the point it stood.

" I'll cut it, don't complain to me later if you don't have a complete legan again ok ?!"

The young man was jolted with a spontaneous joke that he suddenly heard at this critical moment.

Without any doubt Rion cut off the young man's arm right at his wrist.

A second later he jumped forward and continued to do so several times while embracing the Suspect and the Victim away from the point of the disgusting object wriggling.

After feeling they were quite far away from the location, Rion turned around and looked towards the terrifying object he was staying in.

The disgusting thing remained floating in the air in the same position when this young man was still holding it.

The twitch of the disgusting thing is getting faster as the liquid from the disgusting thing comes out more and more, to melt the remaining arms and bones.

The object fell in its original shape and stopped evolving due to lack of fuel as a collision.

Before the object touched the ground, from a distance Rion caught it and locked it using his shield magic and then he felt relieved because nothing happened that he did not want.

There was a cheering sound from the trees around him and they ran towards Rion with happy faces.

Rion knew they were rejoicing, but Rion was more worried about the future of the young man he had just saved.

For his arm he's already given first aid. By clogging the bleeding using a shield magic that he forms into 3 Pics rings.

Thank goodness the young man was alive.

Adventurers tell each other the courage of Rion who fearlessly approaches a dangerous object of high potential gives birth to a demon.

And Rion just found out if it was a demon, he thought it was some kind of call monster that lost control.

When they know the reason for Rion's courage, their anxiety feels betrayed, and they simultaneously pray for Rion's safety later on. Rion was upset at praying like that.

And again, joy was once again born around them. Rion, a young newcomer who has a pleasant personality has managed to save one life, when those who are experienced are completely unable to do anything at all while being treated to a terrible event that the percentage for his life is less than 10%.

They returned to the post without losing a single member.

But to keep watch, they must remain vigilant. They did not want to let their guard down because they had just experienced an absolute victory.

The young man who had gone berserk was still unconscious, but he had advanced help.

For his friend they are currently being interrogated in a separate special room.

Rion is preparing lunch for everyone. Because they said today they're going to have a party to celebrate the completion of their exams.

It took a lot of materials and manpower for the party this time, as they were all greedy people who paid no more attention to shame. Different in the mansion and palace.

But Rion gets more excited when the food will be eaten greedily.

Hundreds of kilos of raw meat in use, forest vegetables to liquor that they deliberately cucumber from a long time ago.

All of it magic into a fancy dish.

A delicious aroma spread in the field that night. The boisterous sounds of parties and drumming imply a festival is taking place.

Everyone smiled, laughed, even fainted.

" I can't believe we could have a party this festive year "Captain Goro came to Rion while he was relaxing while looking at everyone's happy face.

" This is also thanks to everyone "

" You're too generous, there's no need to be so humble "

" That's not true, all of this is indeed due to everyone's efforts, if only no one helped cook. Maybe I'm still stuck in making soup right now "

" no.. I don't mean about food ?"

" Then, a drink ?"

" Can you stop weighing the important things that are only limited to food and drink ?"

Captain Goro slightly lost interest again for a serious talk with the overly relaxed Rion.

" I think I'd like to swap roles with you even for a day "

" What's it interesting to be me ?"

" Your relaxed nature, I don't even think you're going to approach the target that close by casually "

" ah... Sorry for that one thing I'm just curious about, nothing more "

Seeing the honesty on Rion's face as he expressed his heart like that, Captain Goro realized one thing about Rion. Rion is not a young man, but a young fool.

He regretted thinking too far.

*******

The promotion exam is over.

All participants have been returned to the city, the rest will be settled by the examination supervisors and committee.

Including Rion who was trapped in the meeting room with other supervisors.

It has been 6 hours since the meeting began and all input has been collected notary into the notebook.

There were many adventurers who were worthy of ranking up and there were some who were lacking even if they were in a single party altogether.

Those present at the meeting really thought about it all carefully, as this concerned their pride as officers.

Indiscriminately raising the rank of adventurer while their abilities were inadequate, would have an impact on their success going forward and it would make the Guilds good name tainted.

Some parties also failed to ascend, not because they failed in the mission, but they failed in the group. They were often split apart and always acted recklessly, not heeding instructions, and there were even those who deliberately ran away leaving behind their friends.

Internal problems are sometimes more dire than problems that are data from outside.

Not infrequently they will kill each other because of different ideologies, lucky they can be dissolved even though their supervisors are troubled.

Such a party in the future will not be easy to register again.

Rion had already expressed his opinion about the examinee he was supervising.

" They're not too bad, each of them's abilities are enough to be given a thumbs up. They can also work together in groups. The influence of Rokan as a captain is very large, his role as a brain able to move all its members move without carelessly. Unfortunately the composition of their party I find very unusual. In the future I personally feel doubt if they are able to complete a more complete mission than this. "

" I think this alone is good enough, don't you judge them too low, Rion San ?"

" I don't judge them that low. The point I mean is, they lack members to move in the front position "

" Aren't you thinking too much ?"

" Of course I think about it, because I saw them a few days ago. Indeed, the ability of each of them is adequate, but that is only for their current level. "

" I understand, I understand. So what judgment are you gonna give ?"

" I give them a hold-up "

"" !!! ""

Everyone was speechless and pitying the adventurer party he was watching.

" Is that not too cruel for them ?"

" I know ! that's why I filed for suspension, aghh... I hate myself "

Rion ruffled his own hair, puzzling over whether to raise their rank or maintain their current Rank.

They are actually capable, even with average values. But Rion becomes upset when he finds out that they can actually be even more powerful than now as long as they want to add one more member on the front line, or change their role a little.

But in a second he got back up.

" Yes already!!, I will give them the 'Good' assessment' "

" That's all ?"

" That's it !"

" So for the last participant, it has been decided they are declared 'Start' "

Closed with 2 hammer beats from the moderator, their meeting was finally finished.

All the appraisers were allowed to disperse and they quickly walked out of the boring room.

Their faces looked much fresher when they came out of there than when they were in a meeting.

No exception to Rion. He darted and blurred faster than the person closest to the door. No one can get ahead of him.

*******

In the Loby Guild several soldiers were already waiting for him, and intercepted him as he was silently about to leave the Guild.

" Sir, can we talk for a second ?"

Rion smiled forcedly as she turned her body towards the source of the voice.

" It's impossible "and running away without anyone predicting he'll escape quickly.

The soldiers who felt deceived for a moment were only able to laugh wryly when he had not done anything.

All the adventurers who saw the incident turned their faces away and covered their smiles from the soldiers earlier to save their pride.

The soldiers went home empty-handed and surrendered for the day.

Until the next day they try to meet Rion at school, because if at school they think Rion will not try to escape again.

And sure enough, tomorrow afternoon at lunch the soldiers again bothered him.

A teacher at the school came to her class and picked her up just as the class was about to end.

Rion casually followed the teacher. The teacher led him to a large Door with the name Plank 'School Head' on it.

The door was opened when it had received approval from the party inside.

The teacher did not enter first but he allowed Rion to enter first, inevitably he obeyed.

Rion stepped inside, he found a familiar figure sitting on a large chair that turned to the window at the end of the room.

When he headed to the front of the headmaster's desk, in the middle of the room Rion met 3 people who he had suspected were looking for him using a sneaky way, he looked at them with his flat face and ignored their captain who was trying to please him and kept walking the principal's shirt.

" Sensei, I'm sorry for what I said on the first day of school." Rion looked down respectfully at the Headmaster as well as the Teacher he bothered about on the first day of school.

" So you were really asleep that day, until you didn't listen to my speech and didn't recognize my face ?" The headmaster was acting crying to her.

" I'm really sorry "Rion is so embarrassed.

" Hahaha "The headmaster laughed in satisfaction for a moment, hearing Rion did not refute his statement at all.

" It's okay, I don't mind it. Sit down, there are some people who want to meet you. " The headmaster invited Rion to sit down while showing him a chair in which he could sit, without getting out of his Great Chair.

" Meet me ?"

Rion pointed at himself and put on his stupid face pretending to know nothing.

" They're the Royal Army investigating a case, they said there were some questions they missed asking you yesterday. But since you've always avoided them, they've been forced to come at you like this."

Although the headmaster said it in a friendly tone but Rion realized, the Headmaster must have known and heard it directly from these soldiers.

" Well, sir, there is a need with me today ?"

Rion smiled with a fake smile that had a lot of meaning, while sitting because it was in the cross he sat by supporting his chin on the back of his hand.

The soldiers who felt their interlocutors were not in a good mood, became excited how to deal with the young man before them.

Carefully not to hurt Rion's feelings, the army speaker tried to string together words that would otherwise be offensive.

Rion is an important witness in the case that they are currently investigating and even more so now that the witness has pocketed important evidence.

Right, it was the case about the fortunate demon summoning thwarted by Rion in the moment before that disgusting stone took over the body and Soul of that delinquent youth.

" I'm sorry to take your valuable time, if you're allowed let us ask you a few questions "

Their spokesman was confident in his soft words which would have made Rion listen to them this time.

" I refuse !!"

"" Eh ?!! ""

Everyone was shocked in a ridiculous manner especially their already confident spokesperson.

" Excuse me then !"

Rion got up from his seat and paid a farewell to everyone.

" Tungs.. Waita minute!!"

The soldiers laughed frantically and tried to hold Rion away further, they pulled Rion's hand and asked him to sit back.

Rion could not hide his mischievous smile and repeatedly bullied them pretending to run away.

" I'm sorry, I'm a mess. " The ink is really sorry.

The soldiers could only resign because they should not use their emotions on important witnesses.

Especially when reports came in saying that the witness had the ability to stop the rampage of demon stones that failed to transplant, so that the perpetrator did not become mutated.

" We would like to thank you for not ending the perpetrator's life. "

" No, no, no one to thank."

" Even so still, you saved one of our citizens' lives. There's no other word we deserve to say to you."

" Aih, that's it. I accept your words of praise as gratitude. Thanks again for being here"

" Thank you back "

The spokesman went silent once before starting the important question.

" Rion san, can you retell the events of that time from the beginning ? There are some important points that seem to make our investigation team difficult. "

" I'm sure your side must have heard the information directly from the perpetrators, but what makes you still doubt ?"

" As for that, we are currently investigating the origin of the dangerous object, where they got it, and what their motives were for using it. "

" Then did you get it ?"

The spokesman nodded slowly.

" We have interrogated them in separate rooms to this day, but all their descriptions are completely out of sync with each other. Therefore, Rion and will you help us in solving this case ?"

" I understand where this conversation is going "

Rion stared fixedly into the eyes of the smiling-looking Spokesman.

" Well, I'll just say what I know, other than that I won't say what I don't know. "

" Thank you for the cooperation"

The tension faded instantly.
